29C3 – Tickets and Pricing

29C3 will cost us much more than standard tickets priced at 80 EUR will pay. Thus we’ll sell supporter tickets for 100 and 120 EUR. Please consider buying one of these. Help us minimize our losses and support others who can’t afford paying much more! Thanks a lot! :)

Moving the 29C3 to Hamburg will cost a lot of money. As far as we know yet, 80 EUR for a standard ticket will not cover those costs, even if a lot more people will show up at the conference. If we wanted 29C3 to make no loss, based on our current calculation, the price for a conference ticket should be something around 100 to 120 EUR.

Anyway, we will not raise the price for a standard ticket, keeping it at 80 EUR, since we know that some of you can’t afford paying more. For those of you who can’t even pay 80 EUR, please contact 29c3-friends@cccv.de and tell us a bit about yourself, what you’re doing and how much you could pay. Be sure, we’ll find a solution.

BUT, if you feel you can afford it, and if you feel that Congress might be worth it, please consider buying a supporter ticket. We sell these in two versions, one for 100 and the other one for 120 EUR. Which one you choose, if any, depends on you.

If you want your company to buy a ticket for you, or if you’d simply like to pay a bit more, we sell business tickets for 350 EUR. Please note that this is the only ticket type that comes with an invoice including a name and an address.

Hendric: The up-and-coming tickets will be as same as last year: not for pupils any more, but for everyone under the age of 18.

Copy-pasta from the 29C3-FAQ (not online yet, coming soon as well): “With the ongoing internationalization of the Congress, it became harder for us to validate school ID cards from foreign visitors. As we are about to support the young generation, we changed the ticket system: We think it’s fair to say that everybody up to the age of 18 (as in: Birthday after 26.12.1994) is considered to be the “younger”. Please bring a (sufficiently convincing fake of a) document, in case we are in doubt about your age. If you are 18 or older, but for some reason you have trouble paying the full entrance fee, send us an email.”

What will I get out of paying 120 or 100 Euros besides the Knowledge of having paid more deliberately?

If there is something, anything, please do tell!
* Perhaps the Proceedings Included? That would be something I would pay for in Advance.
* Or a “Thank you” Supporters-Only Lounge, that would be awesome! (Basically just a somewhat quiet Room to sit down for a bit.)
* Or Limited Line-Cutting? (Just a Second Line. I mean, why not?)
* Or a Supporters-Only (After-)Party, as a Thank you?

Something, Anything?

Is this kind of Subsidy really the right Choice?
I think people would understand if you had adjusted the Base-Price a bit for Inflation.

No, there is nothing special. It is just as is has been said in the blog post: “29C3 will cost us much more than standard tickets priced at 80 EUR will pay” Would you really like to have different kind of participants at the congress? What would happen if would make a supporters lounge or party: there will be a first and second class society at the congress, do you really think that’ll be nice?

/me thinks you misunderstood the point about this being a voluntary support. if there would have been any kind of compensation for the money it wouldn’t be a supporter ticket, it would be ridicously overpriced merchandise…
